If your child or a child you know goes missing WE CAN HELP

Canadian federal officials work closely with local and international authorities to advocate for the safety, protection and well-being of Canadian children in Canada and overseas. Here is an overview of how we can help.

The Canada Border Services Agency helps to recover missing children and reunite them with their parent(s) and to prevent the unauthorized travel of children across international borders by working closely with law enforcement partners. Here’s what you need to know if you plan to travel with Children.

The RCMP manages the National Centre for Missing Persons and Unidentified Remains. A parent who fears their child has been abducted should contact local police right away. Please visit Canada's Missing for updated information or to submit a tip.
